Chapter 1: A New Beginning

Andra opened her eyes to a familiar ceiling. A ceiling she last saw 10 years ago. Someone knocked the door and upon getting permission to enter, in came a woman she found familiar but did not recognize. After gawking at Andra for sometime the woman addressed her reason to come as she said, "Young Mistress, breakfast is ready, please come to the dining table", and in the next moment she left the room. Andra picked up her mobile phone and looked at the date. It was June 21, 2005, the day she turned 18.

Right now she still did not understand what was happening, had she gone back in time; was what she had experienced for the past fifteen years a dream, or had she been given a new life, a life that started from the moment things started going wrong in the previous one.

A jolt of pain made her wince and a strand of white hair caught her attention. She rushed to the mirror and stood in front of it to look at herself. Her eye color was a beautiful purple black, subtle, but notable; her hair as white as snow. Seeing the beautiful hair caused a tear to escape from her eye. In her past life she had lost the hair she loved so much, it was damaged beyond rescue.

She remembered that in her past life when she had gone to the dining room for breakfast she was scolded for her hair color. Her parents hated the fact that she had "dyed" her hair without permission.

Noticing she stank, Andra took her change of clothes to the bathroom as she took a shower thinking of her past life.

Her parents would soon introduce her to their real daughter and would then explain to her that she had been exchanged. A plot she would have found cringe and cliche in a novel but something that turned out to be true in her life.

Even when the couple considered Andra their real daughter they did not give her any love or attention. Ever since she could remember, she had been surrounded by servants and nannies as her parents flew around the word for business trips. She had been assigned teachers of various professions since she turned 5 and always tried to do her best to gain the love she desired from her parents.

What she did not know at that time was that her parents wanted her to grow as the perfect daughter and then sell her to the highest bidder in a business marriage. Her turning out to not be their biological daughter foiled their plans as it turned out that it was not their genes that made her turn out to be someone who was 'Perfect' but someone elses.

Getting out from her bubble Andra noticed the water falling from the showerhead, she tried to test how strong her power was, focusing on the water droplets she tried to stop the water from falling to the floor. Although she was not able to control all of the water, Andra did see most of the water droplets floating in the air for some time before dropping down.

Finishing her shower Andra changed into her clothes, blow dried her hair and looked at herself in the mirror again, seeing her hair color she concentrated her mana and focused on how her hair previously was, before she turned 18. The hair changed to brown on a rate visible to the eye and after looking into the mirror one last time she walked out of her room. Walking down the familiar yet not familiar hallway, Andra stepped towards the dining room.
